Jan 28. Good morning all. It's been not as cold here in Vermont, but still obviously winter. Martha and Sally had a wonderful time visiting Em in Cambridge last week, but came home with a ruptured eardrum and bilateral ear infections! Ouch. She is staying home to recover before returning to her semester at college.

I was reading the NY Times online this morning.... and as usual, Nicholas Kristof has a wonderful article on social entrepreneurs, and specifically, an idea that some students had, some from Wesleyan Universtiy, to support South African orphans of AIDS, who would not have the chance to go to school if it were not for the efforts of this project, entitled Orphans Against Aids. The NY Times piece is available to read at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/27/opinion/27kristof.html?em&ex=120166920...
